Inspired by the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jekyll and Hyde is set in 1930s London and follows Robert Jekyll, the grandson of Henry Jekyll, on his quest to discover his real identity, his true family history and the nature of his ‘curse’ – which his foster father, Dr Vishal Najaran, is controlling with medication. His journey takes him into a dark and unforgiving place, as his alter ego seems capable of anything. At the same time there are shadowy forces trying to find Jekyll and the source of his powers.

I like the TV show alot, but some names are just retared, for example: Lord Trash, Capitain Dance, wtf is that kind of name, don't get me wrong this TV show is amazing, but the names just suck, ffs how can you name a lord "Trash"?

jamietv78 wtf you cant speak I stopped reading after 5 words, this series is amazing and totally underrated you should go watch some tom and jerry or maybe spongebob if you don't like the look of this maybe your simpleton mind cant understand the plot or you dont understand the cgi is supposed to be grotesque this and the avengers mate.

underrated, people are expecting massive budget movie style editing, and get exactly what this is, a made for TV series. Personally i like it, but you have to see past the Hollywood style cinema releases, and take this at TV value.

Tom Bateman plays Robert Jekyll. Grown up in colonial Ceylon, with his
foster family murdered he comes to 1930s Britain where there are
shadowy organisations involved in the investigation of the supernatural
and people with special abilities.The series had high production values, very well filmed and good set
design.However it was incredibly slow paced and not well written. Three
episodes in and we have the reveal that Jekyll is also Mr Hyde. The
grandson of the original Jekyll and Hyde from the Victorian era.The stories just dragged, the series had try to go with an Incredible
Hulk feel as the inadequate Jekyll transforms to the more physical Mr
Hyde while retaining Jekyll's intelligence but with added guile and
friskiness.Bateman was not magnetic in the role. It was noticeable he did little
promotion for the series to sell himself in the role. I just found him
dull. With Richard E Grant in the cast the ham factor dial went to 11.As for the tone of the series, for something aimed for a family
audience and broadcast in the tea time slot we had a family burnt alive
in the first episode. The violence in this series had some
unpleasantness to it.

Jekyll and Hyde is a Devilishly stylish, polished 30's horror drama
that hits all the right buttons. From the storyline to the narrative, special effects, sets and acting
Jekyll and Hyde is a real winner. In spite of the fact this series is
loosely based on well trodden ground, it still manages to be highly
imaginative and original. It takes core elements from the original
tale, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and then, in a fusion like
blend, adds in intriguing extra's. For starters there's the very heady 1930's British flavour of the whole
series, which recaptures the latter days of the British empire. The
whole series is 30's "chick" with a capital "C". Stylish cars, sets and
people sit alongside the more worker day aspects of life and times, of
the period. Adding to the mix, are Gothic elements and monsters, reminiscent of any
early 20th century horror flick. Not to mention proper "British" secret
organizations, both good and bad. Groups that tap into the mystical
world these monster creatures inhabit. A world that sits just beneath
the thin skin of normalcy, most people call reality. The acting in Jekyll and Hyde is of a high standard and the cast are
well chosen. The narrative is intelligent, for the most part, only
occasionally overplaying the 30's "thing". The story in spite of its
layers of complexity, holds together well too. Its a credit to the
writers, director and producers, that they manage to create such a
cohesive tale, with so many creative concepts in play. I love this series, its a remarkably refreshing take on a classic tale.
Nine out of ten from me.

Written for family viewing but aimed at children of an older age.Originally aired at the family slot of 6pm on a Sunday.The time slot was changed to 7pm for this after a few complaints about
the first episode.It's the perfect Saturday morning pictures fare and filmed in such a
way.An "original" storyline well told.Great story, great locations and rather scary in places. Acting deliberately hammy at times to fit in with the comic book genre
and some great humorous interludes. Remember, this is a children's programme. It's brilliant.

Tom Bateman plays Robert Jekyll, a mental inadequate who occasionally
crosses an emotional barrier into his alter ego Hyde. While Hyde
retains Jekyll's intellectual failure he adds pugilism and high impact
sexual advances to his list of inadequacies. Over the course of 10
episodes Jekyll surrounds himself with a large group of well meaning
incompetents all of whom make almost no positive impact on the outcome
of Jekyll's plight, both elderly relations are noteworthy in themselves
as particular liabilities.Thankfully things are carried through to a somewhat odd but presumably
agreeable end, guided by the ever ready hand of the Welsh Poet Sniper
Man who gets the job done at almost every step when it becomes apparent
that no-one else can be trusted to do so.As always Richard E. Grant playing himself is particularly enjoyable.Genuinely looking forward to a 2nd series.

Great show!

I was really unsure about this initially, it seemed very dark and I
thought it was going to be tame, but I really love everything about the
programme, the sheer OTT nature of it, the contrast between Richard
Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Excellent acting from all concerned, the period
settings and scenery enhance the whole series, the various monsters and
villains are extremely well thought out - not too many, and just when
you think all will be OK, up another pops! Episodes have an
unpredictability to them. It will be a travesty if a second series
isn't made. Sherlock Holmes with a nice dark twist!!! I do think it
needs to be on a bit later though, I would imagine it is a bit
frightening for young children.

I look forward to this fun and intriguing TV show every single week. I
love the actors, the story, the atmosphere, even the costumes. It's
very much like the old silver screen horror flicks, but contemporary
enough to avoid becoming square. The balance of humor and drama is
perfect so that it's never truly sad. I don't watch scary shows or
movies because I want a good cry. Many so-called horror shows today are
filled with too much tragedy. And though there are violent scenes in
Jekyll and Hyde, it's not a gore fest with unnecessary blood bathes.
Kudos to ITV for making such an grand production. I hope Jekyll and
Hyde continues on for years to come.

There are a lot of good and decent shows out there and there fine but
no where near as fascinating to me as Jekyll and Hyde. The un-natural
way the characters act and move is so unsubtle and melodramatic. It's
over the top and every one will let there emotions be known. Jekyll
isn't very good at hiding or suppressing Hyde and everybody notices.
The thing about Hyde's character that confused me is why this Indian
raised man comes over to Britain and is basically British after that. A
few references are maid but still. Lily is the oddest. She just wanders
around for a few episodes smiling no matter strange, distressing or
traumatic things get. Over all it is a (probably unintentionally)
captivating show and because of that it's the only thing I still watch
live on television.

This is a really fun and interesting show. It has an Indiana Jones feel
with lots of interesting characters, secret societies and other
monsters. It's over the top sometimes with decent special
effects.Although when Jekyll turns into Hyde he does it mostly by
acting. It feels like they are trying to set up a world so I hope it
gets a second season. Instead of a standalone monster Hyde is part of a
lineage of monsters.I find the point that people complained about the violence laughable as
it is no where near as violent as say Walking Dead and it's mostly just
fighting and cartoon violence. It's why I checked it out and I was
surprised with a better, more interesting show. Maybe British people
have a different idea of violence. Give it a look.

Really warmed to this - congratulations ITV

I must admit I wasn't too sure of this when it started. For a start,
the original novel by Robert Louis Stevenson was, like Frankenstein,
meant as a moral tale that explored humanity's darker side and the lust
for God-like power. But against misgivings, I've started to really
enjoy it. That's all this is meant to be, a spooky, atmospheric romp, a
touch of Hammer Horror, London Ghost walks and steam punk - great stuff
for a Sunday night, though I'm not sure why its on so early, this is
really 9pm fare in my estimation. Love the Harbingers though. Some very
strange reviews on here - if you don't like it, why watch it and get
yourself in a twist about it? It's well-written (far less
self-indulgent than Dr Who)and beautifully produced, hats off to them.
I certainly hope we can get another series out of it, I'll miss my
spooky Sunday nights without it if it's discontinued.

I liked it

This review is based on having watched the 1st episode.I'm not sure why all the vitriol - it's not really a show that should
engender deep feelings either why it seems. It's a bit campy, has a few
flaws, but at the end of the day, it is entertaining without requiring
too much thought to follow the plot. And I am a bit of a fan of London
period pieces so that's my bias.The backstory for the grandson of Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde as it unfolds is
interesting and while some of the more supernatural elements are a bit
distracting, I found it enjoyable to watch on a Sunday night.That being said, I'm in Canada and we don't have really strict
guidelines about violence on TV before a certain time. If you don't
want the wee ones to watch it - there is some violence and some
"monster" types that could scare little ones - be warned. But for
adults, I certainly didn't find it scary but fun and watchable. I'll
keep watching and hopefully it will continue to develop and eliminate
some of the minor flaws as time goes on.

Jekyll and Hyde is one of those programs with a premise that captures
you for a moment; a 1930s horror show of Lovecraftian bent that focuses
on the monster and presents an aversion to gratuitous displays of blood
gore, Christmas has come early. Sadly upon opening your gift you find
it's been shattered and haphazardly glued back together.I'm not sure who to blame for the resulting Frankenstein that is the
show though, I could blame the writers, but I've seen worse script
writing; I could blame the director, but he seems new at this and
doesn't quite yet grasp what he's doing; I could blame the cast, but
some of them have wonderful sense of irony about their persona and seem
to understand just how ridiculous the show is. So who do I blame, well
nobody, I can just say it's a mess and walk away.Having not read the source material, I'm uncertain as to how accurate
certain details were, but as to whether or not a man with supposedly
super human strength and a manic bent could limit himself to
non-lethally punching people in the chin in every single fight scene is
a part of it, well I doubt it. The fights are just plain boring, this
wouldn't be a problem but the show seems to idolise them and find an
excuse to have a new one every episode.Before I continue on my quest for negativity, I would like to say that
I like the costume design, having monsters with simple things like
skulls for faces works well and should negate the need for CG, which
brings up the question why it was used anyway. One of the monster
designs in particular looks particularly shoddy and makes you wonder
why it couldn't have been redesigned to something more simple.The directing particularly caught my attention, and, taking my earlier
comment into account, you'll have guessed that that isn't a good thing.
They seem to enjoy the 'Dutch tilt' (a camera position which rotates
the camera so the shot appears on its side) a little too much, to the
point where some of the shots are actually nearing the 90 degrees mark.
It also completely removes any sense of weight or meaning to such shots
as they're used without any kind of relation to what's currently
happening on screen. Speaking of happening on screen, the director of
photography is having a field day with this, every shot is so full of
'stuff' that the 'stuff' that actually matters in the shot just fades
into the white noise of 'stuff.'I'm really disappointed in this series, I wanted it to work, I like a
bit of the supernatural and secret societies thing, but the show isn't
worth struggling through just to get that fix.

I Love it. Has great potential

This is another version of the popular R.L Stevenson classic. It is one
of these now popular Victorian Gothic genre but set in the 20th
century. I particularly love period series because it takes you down
history lane. The London fogs, its cobbled streets, top hats and great
coats, the beautiful women...So far the story is fascinating and some modern twists have been added
including a secret agency. The actors/actresses are still unknown, very
eye-catching so far with room for more development. I do not get why
people complained of the violence. Mr. Hyde was violent, everyone who
has read the book knows that. I urge the writers to ignore critics and
focus on its fans. There is a lot of potential here. Keep on being
creative, stick to the general theme of the book but don't be afraid to
go outside the box. I love it and can't wait for the rest to come out.

It's entertaining, and that matters most.

Though it does admittedly have a few flaws here and there, I thoroughly
enjoyed the show.The HUMAN acting (this includes Hyde) is very well done. The
supernatural creatures (mostly the 'Harbinger' and the 'Cutter' so far)
are admittedly over-acted and maybe a little cheesy, but they are
seldom enough seen to really matter, except when they fight Hyde (it's
entertaining to see him mock them, especially since they really could
be ridiculous).If you are wondering if you should watch the show, I suggest you watch
the first episode and then ask yourself this:DID IT ENTERTAIN ME?

I give this a 3 due to the terrible acting. I haven't seen over the top
cheese like this since Jim Carey movie sequels (ie: Ace Ventura sequels
and The Mask sequels.) But that over-acting, which is actually quite
funny (OMG, I can't get enough of the man-headed dog creature that
looks like The Rock on crack) is why I keep watching.I don't think this is one of those intentional B-rated shows, sadly. It
doesn't seem to be self-aware of just how bad it is but that doesn't
distract from the comedic gold. Keep making them, I hope that this is
considered bad enough to keep people watching rather than just bad and
canceled after one season (I'm, surprised with each new episode that
it's still going.) If the show survives the first season, I will revisit the rating I'm
giving it but I sincerely hope that they don't try too hard to "fix it"
because it could end up being just another boring supernatural
television series.

It's a good show. Period.

Why so many people complain about this show being "overly violent" etc.
is beyond me. Do any of these people realize who Mr. Hyde is?? The show
is good, and I think that too many people find purpose in ruining a
good thing with small details.Though it does admittedly have a few flaws here and there, I thoroughly
enjoyed the show. The supernatural creatures are interesting, and the
side story with Jekyll's brother isn't too distracting from the main
plot. I like the way Hyde "Hulks Out" when he takes over, and the
process of Hyde taking over is interesting, and not entirely gruesome.I also get the idea this incarnation of Hyde is not really evil, but a
very unrestrained version of Jekyll (maybe a little more than halfway
evil), not a different person entirely like his grandfather(s).All in all: It's a good show. Period.

High production values, competent acting talent, rich period settings,
exotic locations and a rollicking yarn. I'm very impressed by this "boy's own" style version of Jekyll and Hyde
on ITV1. What concerned me was the degree of well-designed and
constructed horror at this early time of day (18:30) on a Sunday. My first impression was that it's a combination of Sherlock (period
setting) and Buffy (monsters and some of the snappy dialogue). Overall
I've been very impressed so far but, if I were ITV, I'd shift it back
to the watershed.Nice to see "Abbey" from Misfits looking gorgeous and sophisticated in
this. She looks great in evening wear. I have to say that the acting
talent is very good throughout. Some roles could be regarded as a
little "hammy", but that fits with the genre.

After watching episode 1 I'm left with mixed feelings about the show. The concept seems interesting, the costumes / sets are good, and there
are a few good performances - Tom Bateman being the best of the bunch.
But the confusing mix of camera styles, some cringe worthy cliché
moments and the Hyde 'theme song' leave the first episode feeling a bit
flat. Unless the show is aimed at 10 year old (who might not get the subtle
Hyde-like moments in Bateman's performance) the "boop boop boop" of a
tuba every 10 seconds completely wrecks any atmosphere or mood from a
scene, whilst simultaneously making Hyde seem like nothing but a
lumbering oaf. Keep the note progression, but try matching the
instrument to the mood of the scene? A shocking revelation I'm sure.Take this odd musical choice, mix in a few facial-close-up-held-for-
too-long moments, a heavy splash of overused of slow motion, and call
it a show - at least that feels like ITV's direction at times. The show
could have been good, but it feels like any good qualities are out
shined by poor production choices.Conclusions? Well I'm going to give episode 2 a chance - the trailer
for it offers some hope of redemption - but if the shaky production
direction continues you'd be better spending your time re-watching a
real adaptation like 'Jekyll (2007)' instead.

Sunday evenings have been waiting for Jekyll and Hyde.

This is going to be a very intriguing and watchable series. After the
first part I was left suitably impressed. They've managed to make a
dark, intriguing, rather exciting series.I'm not sure after drawing over 500 complaints after its first episode
that it will remain in the 6.30 Sunday teatime slot for long, but with
over 3.15 million viewers who knows? I'll certainly be tuning in to
watch.Rather good special effects, excellent cinematography, it's a very
slickly produced show. The monsters, transformation scenes were really
well done.I like the premise of the story, Robert Jekyll is given a back story,
he has a love interest, he has a powerful adversary in Sir Roger
Bulstrode.Tom Bateman was excellent in the lead role, very strong performance,
Richard E.Grant it goes without saying is a fantastic actor, good at
playing the bad guy, he's not long played Doctor Simeon, an effective
adversary for the Doctor.I am going to enjoy this, old school viewing 8/10

Not recommended.

There is no disputing taste. To me the first episode was HORRIBLE! No acting talent spotted, the scenes are cut in hiccups, no credibility
to the start of the storyline. Way too many cinematographic styles mixed / unmatched. It almost seems
as if several opinions about style are presented all at once in episode
1.A good effort for wardrobes & locations but that could not save the
cliché's nor this disastrous waste of money. It is surprising to me that this rolled to the shores from the U.K.
Several of the actors performed much better in other productions UNLESS
you where the main villain in Hudson Hawk.Personally I would be ashamed to put it on my resume.
